Here's a guarantee: If you stopped watching Once after the first season, there's no way you can watch Sunday's third-season opener without feeling totally lost. It's a completely different series, which is why ABC is leading into that new episode (8 ET/PT) with a one-hour special designed to bring viewers up to date on the story, which now finds many of the characters heading off to Neverland to rescue a kidnapped Henry. No doubt if you watch the recap it will all make sense. Or not.

A night crowded with great cable series, from the return of Homeland and the debut of Masters of Sex to the finale of Breaking Bad, can also boast the opener of last season's best broadcast drama. The season ahead should be a contentious one, as Alicia and Cary start planning their exit from the firm. Anyone hoping that breakup will go smoothly should probably check those hopes at the door.

Want to know in what low regard AMC holds Low Winter Sun? It's airing the show's next-to-last episode at 11:15 -- out of prime time and after Breaking Bad and Talking Bad have already exhausted the network's audience. I'd say that means no one is going to watch it, but even when AMC aired the show in prime time, nobody much watched it. Still, it's a shoddy way to treat what few fans the show still has.
